Spectrum Adjustable Saline Breast Implant.... are these implants safe?

Question

IS IT TRUE THAT: It allows physicians to adjust the size of the breast implant for up to six months after breast augmentation surgery. In a simple office procedure, surgeons can add or remove saline to adjust the final size of the breast implant. IS THIS SAFE TO DO.? does it require for the patient to take meds or antibiotics after the final adjustment? Is there a variety of sizes and profiles to choose from as well?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Adjustable saline implants have been around a while.  It's not a bad idea, however, the implants are quite a bit more expensive than regular saline implants and it's hard to justify the extra expense.

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Hello, a small percentage of my patients choose these implants.  Changing their volume via the remove fill port is fairly straightforward and the person does not need to take antibiotics prior to adjusting their volume.  In my practice I only use these implants for very challenging cases, like chest wall deformities (e.g.. pectus excavatum)

Larry Weinstein, MD · Answer

I have extensive experience with this implant experimentally and with a large number of patients. They tend to be more stable then other saline implants. Adjustments are only about two shot glasses in difference or a quarter of a cup size in s Bra. My preference is to use gummy bear form stable implants which may last longer then the saline implants. Many of the before and afters on my website are with the implants you are asking about. Good luck....

Thank you for your question and clearly the implant is safe but it makes more sense to put in a prefixed sized gel or saline implant at the time of surgeryDr Corbin
